It's dumb as fuck.
Hate it if we want (and I have major problems with how young phones and similar devices become glued to kids), but they're here to stay. They're a part of modern life, and trying to completely ban them is the most idiotic waste of time and resources possible.
You gotta find a way to limit use in a consistent and evenly applied way so that parents and school staff are all on the same page. Then you just keep enforcing the rules amd explaining them over and over. Eventually, it becomes a manageable annoyance instead of the chaos it currently is
That's the problem, they aren't on the same page. Teachers and admins have to live in the reality of kids having these devices in school, while parents just live in the anxiety of the very rare "what if something happens?"
A lot of things are here to say that you don't bring to school.
